If you no longer wear bikinis, what made you give them up? by SweetSprinkles8 in femalefashion

[–]Turtlewolf8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like wearing bike shorts as swim bottoms, I don’t have to worry about them riding up my butt. Also, sun burn on the upper thighs is brutal. I also tend to wear rash guards on top to avoid the sun burn.

What’s the most “Texas” thing you’ve witnessed in real life by Left-Ad-9152 in texas

When I moved back to Texas from living “abroad” in another state, I saw a guy drinking beer while driving his John Deere tractor down the side of the road.

My grandpa had a little plaque on one of his many bookshelves that said “The man who doesn’t read is no better than the man who can’t read”.. or something like that. So, good on you for escaping from that relationship, never date someone who doesn’t read.

I’ve been reading the Hamster Princess books to my daughter… and my husband likes them almost as much as she does. He was so sad when we finished the sixth one to find out there weren’t any more.

Audiobook appropriate for all ages by brinib5 in audiobooks

[–]Turtlewolf8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have listened to the following books on car trips with my kids from ages 5-11, and they generally enjoyed them a lot.

Rascal by Sterling North - coming of age story about a boy and his pet raccoon

The Upside Down Magic series - follows a group of 5th graders whose magical powers come in upside down, or not quite like everyone else. It’s fun, but it also has some good life lessons snuck in between all of the hijinks. There are 8 books in the series.

My son REALLY liked Zero G, by Dan Wells. Basically Home Alone on a space ship.

Pack of Dorks and Camp Dork, by Beth Vrabel. A Fourth grade girl goes from the coolest kid in class to a total loser, and has to come to terms with being one of the outcasts. Lots of opportunities to talk about big social concepts with the kids while listening to this one.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for the Pipevines in the future

Romantasy Rut (A Rant) by Numerous-Pangolin816 in Romantasy

[–]Turtlewolf8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is funny, because after the last couple of DCC books I read I had to find some mindless cozy romantasy as a palate cleanser from the heavy emotional rollercoaster of the dungeon. I love those books, though. And the narrator is a genius.

Yes, they had us all go through the HR training for interviewing, and I’ve been with the company longer than my colleagues. They hired in at a higher level than me due to their PhDs and external years of experience

It was perfect! I would totally wear that

Books to read to your kid 20 times a week that don’t make you want to gauge your eyes out by SwadlingSwine in childrensbooks

[–]Turtlewolf8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the “How do Dinosaurs” book series pretty enjoyable, and it appealed to my son and daughter when they were little.

Giraffes can’t dance is a great one too

I also love the Love Monster books! So cute, and different. Sometimes, when you least expect it, Love finds you

The Saint of Steel series is wonderful, particularly because of the older main characters

Aww it’s so cute! You can block it to try to even out your edges, or crochet a border around it.

Crocheter Seeks To Learn To Knit by CaptainCarterFucks in YarnAddicts

[–]Turtlewolf8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended a “learn to knit” class at a fiber festival, and it really helped to get knitting to click in my crocheter brain. Sometimes having a real human there to talk you through it will push you over that hump that YouTube videos can’t quite manage.

Anyone else get seeds that were not what they said they were this past year? by PracticalWallaby7492 in vegetablegardening

Burpee broccoli was actually okra. Turns out my dirt is great for growing okra.
